I rarely do newborn portraits. Truth be told, I've always been nervous around babies. I grew up an only child in a small family, so I never held a sibling or cousin. The fragility of a baby is something that I am terrified of, but also fascinated by. I think that as adults one of the most incredible transformations you can make is to care for something other than yourself. To shepherd and raise another human.Pictured below is Samantha. I took her photograph just before the new year. Her parents are awesome.

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Berlin, Germany. Designed by Peter Eisenman and Buro Happold.
Walking through the memorial you start on higher elevation. You see the lay of the land. But as you descend down a path you are surrounded by stone. The temperature drops. Friends that were walking down a different path can no longer be seen or heard. In the middle of the memorial you feel totally isolated and alone.
